CLOTHES HANGER Filed Oct. 9, 1930 Patented Dec. 6, 1932 UNTEQ GIULIO CICN, F SMOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIQNOB, ill? t ANDRESKDVICH, OF MNESSEN, PENNE? CIITHES Application flied @otoher 1930,

This invention relates to improvements in' hangers for articles of clothing and relates particularly to hangers of the character hiown as coat hangers.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a coat hanger with means whereby an article hung across the horizontal bar portion thereof may be securely held against sliding movement on this bar, so that in the delivery of clothing after the saine have been purchased or after they have been cleaned and pressed, an article suspended across the bar of the hanger will not slip to one side and become wrinkled.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide e device oi" the above described. character which may be easily and inexpensively combined with a coat hanger, and which may be easily and quickly manipulated to secure or release an article suspended on the e invention will be best understood from a consideration o the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming part oi this specilication, with the understanding, how ever, that the inventionis not confined to any strict conformity with the showing o the drawing but may be changed or modified so long as such changes or modifications merli ne material departure from the salient eatures ci' the invention as expressed in 'die appended claims.

ln the drawing:

Figure l shows e hanger constructed accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken. on line 2--2 of Figure l.

Referring more particularly to the draw ing wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral l indicatesgenerally a sti wire coat hanver of the usual design having a horizontal tbar portion 2 and inclined side bars 3, which converge and are joined by twisting, as indicated at 4, at the point above the central part of the bar 2 one of the side bars 3 being extended and formed to provide a hook 5 by means of which the hanger may be hung up.

ETE-HAL?? l. NIA

.in associ sone gauge as that from u ich hanger is constrncted. This eye is provided with relatively lone end portions which are twisted a u c l r together as indicated at l so that the eye will be completely closed, and each is then twistedv about one of the inclined shoulder bars 3 ci the hanger in the manner indicated by numeral 8 so that the eye or ring 6 will be located between the bars 3 and the bar 2 directly beneath the hook of the hanger.

Suspended from the eye 6 is an elongated substantially llshaped resilient clasp, which is indicated as a whole by the numeral 9. The side members or legs l0 of the clasp 9, which is Jformed of a single piece of material as shown, are joined by the narrow bight portion ll which engages the eye 6, the ends of the legs l() being disposed at opposite sides of the bar 2 as shown in Figure 2. Adjacent its tree end each leg l() is bent inwardly as indicated at l2 so that an article may be gripped therebetween, as illustrated, beneath the bar 2 without bringing the legs into contact with the bar. Surrounding the clasp 9 is a rin@ i3 which, when slipped downwardly upon the divergentfulegs l0, will cause the ends thereof to be Idrawn together so as to grip an article such es is indicated by the numeral le, in the manner shown.

lroni the foregoing description it will be readily seen that when an article of clothing such, for example, as a pair of trousers is suspended across the bar 2 the clasp 9 may be employed for holding the article against niovenient on the bar so that when the article is being delivered after being pressed it will not slip over to one side of the hanger and become wrinkled.

Having thus described my I claim is l. The combination with a coat hanger having a horizontal bar portion and side bars disposed in convergent relation and joined above the horizontal bar, of s. ring member disposed beneath the oints of convergence of the side bars, said ring being formed with end portions each of which is twisted about invention, what,

an adjacent side bar, a resilient clasp suspended from said ring and having a air of spaced leg members arranged with sai horizontal bar disposed therebetween, and means for drawing said leg members together to ecure an article Asuspended on the horizontal 2. The combination with a coat hanger having a horizontal bar portion and side bars vLe disposed in convergent relation and joined above the horizontal bar, of a ring member disposed beneath the points of convergence of the side bars, said ring being formed with end portions each of which is twisted about an adjacent side bar, a resilient clasp member of elongated, substantially U-shaped configuration, having said ring enga ed therewith between side members thereto and having said side members disposed with the horizontal bar therebetween, the said side members of the clasp being inset adjacent their free ends and beneath the horizontal bar, and means for forcing the side members of said clasp together to secure therebetween an article suspended from the horizontal bar.

3. A clothes hanger com rising a wire body bent to form a straight bar and a pair of shoulder bars extending from the ends of the straight bar and converging at a point above the same, said shoulder ars at their point of convergence being twisted togetherand one thereof being extended to form a h ring member formed of wire and hat 'g twisted together, said twisted portion of the ends being disposed beneath and'in alignment with the twisted ends of said shoulder portions to suspend the ring above the stralght bar and the ends of said ring being extended in opposite directions and each twisted about a shoulder, and a clamp member carried by and depending from said ring and engaging over said straight bar to secure a garment thereto.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature.
